to get my shield...

Actually the attackers all have better tech than me. They are at silver level for a reason, but they suck at attacking..

Basically you are suggesting me move up in order to get better people attack me. I don't think that's a good reason. If SC dramatically increase the reward at higher levels I will happily do so.

This is yet another example of the flawed system... SC when is enough enough?

Or maybe SC can let us instantaneously increase trophy by 1000 when we go offline (back to your old trophy count once you are online) so we can sleep better because we know better people are attacking us now :)

I'm in a clan of maxed th9's and new th10's. We are testing out all base designs to grab a shield on the first or second attack in order to not be subjected to the constant milking. Once at a certain level in loot - we switch to the war layout.

Its frustrating.

I know.. It takes some master work to design such base.. SC people really should play for real for weeks before they come up with any new genius idea. In the Clashcon at the end of 2015, I saw some very poor plays from the inside people. That casts some clouds on how well they understand the farming, war, etc.

Cant get a shield?

Simples. Move on up to Masters. I guarantee someone will give you a shield - even if you aren't worth attacking, you will get attacked.

E.g. 4 golems and 6 witches... I had 1k dex to offer. ♥♥♥?

11 dragons and full spells. I had 40k lix, 300 dex and about 20k gold to offer. ♥♥♥?

Plenty of gowipes too, whether I am worth it or not.

The plus side is... 160k rss and 920 dex for a win... well, 80% of that seeing as noone hardly ever manages 70% base destruction for the full bonus (twice since the update).

Sure I've had some 28% and 29% attacks. But they dropped their entire Expensive army. People don't do that with full spells, just for laughs up here.

Before the update 80% of all attacks in some leagues were TH snipes which gave players a shield. The system was reliable. Even if you got attacked for 39% most likely the next attack was a TH snipe again. The game needs a reliable shield system again as it had before and as SC promised with the update. It shouldn't be possible for a base to be attacked several times in a row, lose loot every time and still get no shield. A way to address this issue is to give players an incentive to give a shield to another base and take away the incentive not to do so. Easily done by not rewarding any loot for attacks that don't give a shield. This is the fundamental rule of a reliable shield system: Every time a base loses loot from an attack it gets a shield - if the attack fails to give a shield no loot is awarded. Make it hurt the attacker failing an attack. Make it rewarding for the defender winning a defence. How can it be not rewarding watching a 29% defence knowing the attacker went home empty-handed? I'd love to lose my CC troops, traps and heroes for that. The next one is the lucky guy that gives me a shield. And that one deserves the loot - not the troll or milker.

I still want the shield to be cheaper 10 gem for 1 day shield 4 day cool down, 20 gem for 2 days shield 7 days cool down. This will fatten the storages and mines. It gives the illusion of security.

And yes it's hiding loot, but hiding loot was there when you do th snipe. Even if they use all the shield there will still be a gap of 3-4 days before they can shield again.

According to Anoushka, the shield system is perfect. Apparently it's your problem that your defense is so good and you end up losing 7 mil overnight.

Sad but true... I hope everyone sees the irony in this: Having strong defences in a game about strong defences is a bad idea! :facepalm:

Yes. Higher leagues are filled with better attackers(for the most part). if someone attacks you, you want a shield. Go to where you can get one. If you are going to say getting a shield after being attacked isn't a good enough reason alone to move up trophy levels, then enjoy never getting a shield. League bonus in champs is well worth the attack costs. As a near max nine, I just queen walk and giwibarch nines all day long up there, you could easily do the same. Never have to hit a ten and still make 200k G and E and 1200 de plus anything u get in the raid.
